BY IRVING WEEKLY STAFF

Irving, Texas. November 1, 2016 –

Irving ISD celebrated the 2016 Teachers of the Year with a reception and ceremony on October 25 at MacArthur High School. The honorees represented a breadth of experience and specialties, which together make up a total of 409 years of teaching experience. In addition, this group includes 10 Irving ISD graduates. A walking testament to the district’s motto, success starts here, this marked a special moment as the district named its very own alumni among its brightest educators and leaders.

The district also officially recognized its 2016 District Teachers of the Year, Dennis Ramos of MacArthur High School and Townsell Elementary School’s Angela Snyder, who was named Region 10 finalist for Elementary Teacher of the Year.
